Administration / President's Staff - About Ohlone College

Did You Know…?

Ohlone College's name honors the Ohlone Indians of the Costanoan tribe, also known as "the people of the West," who lived in the Fremont and Newark areas. The Ohlones were distinguished by peaceful pursuits, especially in agriculture, and they held profound reverence for the earth, believing it was theirs for living and not for the taking.
